Part of school Analysis we looked at AP Exams,There are so many numbers. but looking above all these numbers are showing us that Cranston is ranked very high in the AP exams but they are still passing and is a little under state average in overall the state Rhode Island has the most. The number of students that take the exams, there are very few in Cranston east. Rhode Island is 4150 students, Cranston East 73 students, Barrington 283 students and Central falls has 74 students. Rhode Island has a lot more students but if you take a look at the last row in they chart for percentage scored at college level mastery, it doesn't matter how many students take the test in overall it matters who is testing better and Cranston East is right underneath Barringiton following with 77% score at a college level, When Rhode island has thousands of kids taking the AP exams but only 55% of the students score at college level.

Conclusion
As you read this report you can think you own opinion but Cranston is a average school. Yes, they don't have the highest grades, but they are atleast average and in some subject like math they are above average.Comparing schools to Barrington isn't an easy thing because they are high up there but then comparing it to central falls makes you look like the best school, so it averages it out and I would Say Cranston isn't too far behind Barrington. Hopefully these graphs and grades and poverty charts shows that Cranston is still a good town and has good schooling for your children. If living in Rhode Island i would recommend you to chose Cranston high school East, they are very school spirited and there academic level is good and it prepared you for college.
